Default my 84 s10 Blazer

I have a 1984 s10 Blazer with 90,000 miles on it. It sat for 11 years in storage and was given to me this month.

When I went to put coolant into the radiator it poured out underneath the engine area. Found out it was a freeze plug that popped out. What a pain in the *** to get to! Took me a whole day to put a new freeze plug in.

I did an oil change, oil filter, new spark plugs, and air filter.

When I was given this Blazer, the owner had lost the keys. So I drilled out the back tailgate lock/latch and got it open that way. Bought some new locks for the front, and new one for the back. Installed the back one with no problem, but now my problem is with the front side lock and window. I have a power window. I rolled it down half way and now it wont roll up. DOesnt even sound like the motor is running. I need this window to roll up so that I can get to the lock and replace it.

Any idea what the problem might be? A fuse maybe? I checked the fuses, but who knows. The Drivers side window wont roll down, so something is wrong.
Is there a way to manually get the window to roll up so that I can get to this lock and drive it?

Is there anything else I should do to a vehicle that has been sitting this long? I am not a mechanic by any means, but advice is welcomed!

You could supply power and ground to the window motor directly. It sounds like it could be a faulty switch.
